Hi,

I tested on Note2 not on GS3 becasue her GS3 runs on 4.0.4. But everything things fine except the main app window seems not recognize accessibility status. Other than that, I can still click on button to get desired action. However, I have updated a test version on my attachment (SWkey_nonroot52_gs3.apk) . Can you help me to try it? I changed accessibility detection a bit and hope this one will work.
[Android Apps and Games] Cyciumx:
Great work-around

The new GS3 version does indeed allow the home button of Button Savior to work without it shooting back into the app options to turn on accessibility. It still doesn't seem to detect it if you manually open up the apps menu though. What I mean is when you open up Button Savior's internal menu options, the first thing it does is popup telling you to change accessibility options, but it won't do that anymore while using the actual app.

EDIT: Basically... exactly what you said happened with that Note2. The app works flawlessly.
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
Thanks for your testing. A great news to know. Remaining issue is easier to fix. By the way Are you also able to use task and back keys?
[Android Apps and Games] Cyciumx:
Yes, to both. The running app is perfect. Every button function works on this latest build with the GS3 now. :D
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
Just updated the Playstore version to 1.1 and attachment SWKey_nonroot53.apk with following changes. Thanks for people who have helped me to test.

(1) Fixed issue on GS3 an Note2

(2) Changed number of button option to Max 7 buttons

Note: If you are still seeing accessibility warning dialog popup in main app screen while it is actually turned on, please let me know. I only have Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 on hand. So can't easily see the root cause of this issue. Thanks for helping in advanced.

Thank you dev! Great job! +1!

And now i will press the back button :))
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
I just silently published an update V1.1a on Playstore. I think the notice wont show up again if accessibility is really turned on. Just wait for 1-2 hours for Playstore to reflect the change. Thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
Hi,

I don't have Samsung device on hand. Can you let me know briefly what kind of problem it is with talkback service on Galaxy Note2? I can still test it on my friend's phone if I know how to reproduce the problem.

Thanks,
[Android Apps and Games] andrevs_ro:
Re: [APP 4.1+] on screen software keys simulation without root (Button Savior)

I don.t kniw how to explain better... for example, if i open a folder on the home screen, talkback will start (folder is open/ close), even if i deactivate talkback app.

After i.ll root my device, i.ll unistall talkback to see what happens

Even so, i don.t think this is a backbutton bug, because it happens the same with no led app. So maybe is just talkback...

Hope this will help :)
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
Does it happen all the time with UI interaction?
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
Found solution. It is a Samsung bug. To solve Talk back problem, please go to Settings/Application Manager/All and disable Disabling the Google TTS and Samsung TTS

Hi

Thanks for this app. For Note 2, turning on the Talk Back feature where this app is found, I'd need to disable Air View feature in Note 2. Anyway to overcome this?
[Android Apps and Games] andrevs_ro:
just enable airview after button savior :)

This is needed: not all apps conform to the design guidelines. The JB soft navigation bar actually shows a menu key (three small dots) in the bottom right corner for those apps. When missing, there is no way to access the application menu.
[Android Apps and Games] andrevs_ro:
Re: [APP 4.1+] on screen software keys simulation without root (Button Savior)

For best results, i.m using on my note both, apps, root and unroot, one for left side, one for right side :)))))

One sugestion: could you please add "menu" button to the unroot version. It.s sooo useful

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] bunklung:
I agree. We need menu button. Is that even possible?

I have an app, ScummVM that requires a long press of the menu key. No menu key, no worky.

Any plans for a pie control?

[Android Apps and Games] brickablesmile:
I really appreciate the non-root version you've written.

I've been running the root version on my HTC One S since Android 4.0.1, (yes, it works, except for the pesky little stuff that needs SU), and I was so excited when I saw the post on XDA. I zapped the QR code immediately.

And was delighted to find theme sets - I'm using Pen's Ginger, and I love the dark glass beauty of it.

Two things are bothering me:

1) Android debug mode. The prompt keeps telling me that needs to be enabled for Button Savior to work right.

I know from lurking around the XDA forums that leaving this enabled means that even my security code can be reset if I lose the phone.

I turned this off, just in case, and so far the app works fine. You might want to find other people with different devices to test this though?

this app works very fine & i highly recommend it to my friends.
[Android Apps and Games] fumes_dog:
works great on my Galaxy Nexus. indispensable. Thx
[Android Apps and Games] :
I also bought the ROOT version of this app and it's amazing.

One question/suggestion though:

- Can you provide an option in the app to permanently show the buttons bar and can be drag around the screen with single click since it's more convenient. The buttons then will fit to side of the screen, ie. when drag to left/right side of screen, change its button bar orientation to vertical, and when drag to up/bottom side of screen, change it to horizontal).

Just a wild guess, thanks and keep up the great work!
[Android Apps and Games] darkhandsome18:
Hey dev, please can you implement custom shortcuts? I'd like to add my own shortcuts and no, I'm not talking about remapping the call/camera buttons. Also maybe add custom icons so I can choose the icon for each shortcut. There are alot of sidebar/overlay apps recently so I hope this isn't hard to implement. Thanks

And yeah, I bought the root version. so that's the version I'm inquiring about
[Android Apps and Games] aabhash:
so far so good

the root version caused error on rooted sgs3, causing force restart, i tried this one, and it's so far so good

keep up the good work, happy because this phone's water damaged and soft-keys dont work, it's a life saver!
[Android Apps and Games] GankGonk:
a bug found using Button Savior on Movi Tab Max P5 Android 4.1.

i'm using it on Movi Tab Max P5 Hercules running Android 4.1 and having weird "highlight outline" box over the object containing links and even "forced" me to focus on the outlined link as soon as the web loading complete, so if I open for example yahoo.com, while the web is loading and I already scroll down half of the page, as soon as the loading proccess completed, the web browser forced me to go back to the top of the page to focus to the highlighted link on top of the page.

would you fixed the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
Hi,

I think it is more like a system issue. Button savior Non root uses accessibility service to simulate key action. However, occasionally I get email bug report about weird issue in different symptons such as auto talk back. But they are all related to accessibility function in android. Your issue also looks like accessibility issue too. For problem like that in system level, I can't fix. So I recommend you to root your device and use my root version.
[Android Apps and Games] GankGonk:
ok. thank you. I also think about it. becase as I disabled Button Savior accessibility, the "highlighted" object/link disappear. I thought it can be fix, but it seems it couldn't. so, i must find a way to root this tab of mine. looking around the web, can't find alps T753 root tool. can someone help?
[Android Apps and Games] loumarjr:
Will disabling the Google TTS and Samsung TTS make any other app not function correctly or lose features?
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:

By enabling the Onscreen Power Menu option in your apk.is it possible?If yes, what is the procedure for this?Please advise.

Hi, two things u need to note. 1, you must make sure hover control is enabled in 'Advanced' setting. 2. When u hover on top of trigger icon, u need to wait about 1-2s for Button Savior button panel to show. However, u should feel a vibration when u hover your pen on top of trigger icon.

[Android Apps and Games] Vario_User:
Hi,

I´ m using your app every day. And I have a feature request.

I´m using the popcontrol for my favorite web pages as well. If you add more than one web page all of them have the same symbol/sign. Just "www". So it is nearly impossible to see which button from the popcontrol will take me to which www page. I have to remember the position AND the name of the web side as well. So it would be great to have the opportunity to create a name for the saved www page by myself. Or maybe even better would be if you can save a small preview picture of the web page.

Would this be possible?

Thanks

[Android Apps and Games] Aveeux:
I'm on the S6 edge un rooted, and I tried the root version of button savior, and found a VERY USEFUL feature which is to disable the animations, it worked for me on my phone, but the problem is in the root version, I cannot press the recents, and home. So I went to non-root version, and yes, everything works fine and smooth, but it lacked the disable animation feature. I hope you could implement it in the next update, it would be very useful since its very fast and good. It worked for me on root version, so why not put it in non-root version. Nevertheless, this is one of the best apps I've used, it's been a long time since I have this and I'm very happy with it's usefulness. I hope you would add the feature. Thanks man and have a good day. :)
[Android Apps and Games] jerryfan2000:
[MENTION=6588037]Aveeux[/MENTION] For the root problem, I think upgrade superSU to latest Beta version would solve this problem. For animation problem, I wasn't aware of it. I think I probably missed to port this feature to non root. I will double check. Thanks for letting me know this.

Hey, I have a Nexus 6P running rooted 6.0. Been trying to get the rooted version of button savior to work but the back and menu buttons aren't responsive. The home button works fine.
